Engagement Cards

I was asked to make an engagement card for my friends daughter.  How exciting, I have watched this girl grow up from Primary school and she has grown into such a lovely person.

I decided to make two cards and gave my friend the choice and whichever was left I would give to the happy couple.

So the top card is the one I gave to the couple.  I started with Stampin Up Very Vanilla as the base card then a layer of Stampin Up Rose Red.  Next was this lovely paper from a magazine giveaway.  The side panel I layered up and pin pricked both edges of the Very Vanilla panel.  I created two hearts from red wire and stitched them to the panel.  Finished with some bling and a gold sticker sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into this challenges:

Deep Ocean - #7 Hearts ends 13th September

This is the card my friend chose to give to her daughter and future son-in-law. :-)

I started with a white square card which I cut the front panel in half to create the Joy Fold.  The inside panel I layered up with black card and then Blue Edge Combo paper - Damask Designs.  The front left panel I ran some black card through my 'Victoria' embossing folder and added three bling.  Then the smaller card I layered up with some more of the Damask Designs.  Finished with silver sticker sentiments, red ribbon and a wonderful heart brad.
